CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 189 MERMAID

Under the cover of night, all the pirates were killed.

Standing on the deck of the dual-masted ship, Perception listened to the low conversations of the crew and sailors.

Chen Feng looked up at the blood moon and roughly understood what kind of world the Realm of the Dead was.

Fertile Continent.

Kingdom, Church, Pirates, Sequence.....

Steam technology had just emerged, the style somewhat reminiscent of Western wartime on Earth in his past life.

Yet, inexplicably, the so-called True God Church existed, and it wielded Transcendent powers unlike Martial Arts.

"Lei Long thanks you for saving my life."

Lei Long, with his bushy beard, had a damp cloth shirt, his short curly brown hair still wet, not bothering to tidy it, he hurried to bow respectfully along with the other crew members.

Dispatching Giant Shark - Tiger in one move, definitely a fifth-order Sequencer.

But it was unknown, exactly which sequence.

Not paying much attention, Chen Feng took out the deep blue stone the other party handed earlier, pointed at it, but said nothing.

The language of this world was also different from the Snake Spirit Secret Realm, the vocabulary he memorized was not quite sufficient for use.

"This is a Blue Heart Stone, which I picked up by chance while passing Fishman Bay."

Reading the situation, Lei Long quickly explained, "It’s considered one of the extraordinary materials native to our Steel Kingdom, rumored to be from the Mermaid Clan, only collectable during sea tides, difficult to mine."

"You aren’t from the Steel Kingdom, are you?"

Lei Long, towering over 1.9 meters, spoke cautiously, slightly bowing.

A fifth-order Sequencer, yet unfamiliar with Blue Heart Stone, recalling the earlier situation, this was the only explanation he could think of.

To this, Chen Feng simply nodded, also content to be mistaken as a native.

Based on previous eavesdropping, he learned that multiple kingdoms existed on the Fertile Continent of this world, each speaking different languages.

This was a natural excuse, suitable for concealing his identity.

"I see."

"In that case, you might not know the location of Fishman Bay; if you don’t mind, I, Lei Long, am willing to guide you."

Lei Long immediately offered, and the surrounding crew members’ expressions tensed, but they didn’t interject.

Gently nodding, Chen Feng was quite pleased with this person’s cooperation.

Being new to this world, if he could spend a few days with the fleet, it would make mastering the language easier.

Moreover, getting clues about advanced metals right away was quite fortunate.

During their conversation, a crew member found a black ring with a shark pattern on the deck.

It was an item previously worn by Giant Shark - Tek, exploded off his hand by Black Flash.

"Sir, please keep this safe."

Lei Long took it from the sailor’s hand and quickly handed it over with both hands,

Chen Feng was puzzled, then saw the other person explained, "You might not know, our Steel Kingdom’s bounty claims are more lenient than other kingdoms."

"Due to concerns over similar incidents where retaining the body is impossible, as long as you can present the pirate’s personal emblem to the kingdom to prove their death, you can collect the bounty from the sheriff."

"Of course, the conditions are lenient, but the procedures are more numerous, mainly for accurate verification....."

Lei Long explained a few sentences, Chen Feng roughly understood, nodding as he accepted it.

Then glanced at the sky, the blood moon shrouded, appearing somewhat sinister.

Lei Long, quite perceptive, quickly instructed the crew to vacate a small room in the cabin, indicating he should temporarily reside there.

"Sir, conditions are limited, please forgive us."

Chen Feng nodded, then glanced at the towering Holy Shield Giant.

Whoosh!!

Observably, the Holy Shield Giant soared away, leaving this place.

The dual-masted ship thus lightened, raising over ten centimeters on the horizon.

Watching the white-gray disappear, the crew was full of longing, with Lei Long, a third-order sequencer, in greater awe.

Being able to command such powerful extraordinary creatures, this gentleman’s strength was likely stronger than some of the nobles of the kingdom.

.....

.....

[Metal Essence +1!]

[Metal Essence +1!]

In the small cabin, a kerosene lamp rested on the wooden table.

With a cracking sound, the Blue Heart Stone shattered into dust.

The panel hint quietly appeared.

[Steel Bone LV3: 90/100]

"Not bad."

Chen Feng nodded, the effect of the Blue Heart Stone was equivalent to Obsidian, its hardness also very similar, comparable to Golden Steel.

"Extraordinary materials."

Thinking of the keywords Lei Long mentioned, Chen Feng sat on the wooden bed, contemplating.

This world is indeed very different.

According to Lei Long, this Blue Heart Stone could also be used for the promotion rituals of certain sequencers.

This made it quite intriguing.

It was unlike the so-called bloodline power of the Snake Spirit Secret Realm or the Primordial Energy cultivation of the Life Seed.

Moreover, different from the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.

He vaguely sensed that he hadn’t experienced the so-called realm rejection.

Because of this, Chen Feng felt a sort of intuition within himself.

Perhaps he could stay longer in this world than in the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.

....

....

Four days later.

The blue sky was clear, seagulls flying among the leisurely white clouds.

The dual-masted ship sliced through the waves, and sailors bellowed continuously on the deck.

"Port fifteen degrees!"

"With the wind, set the sails!"

Amidst the booming commands, Chen Feng walked up to the deck, glanced at the bundles of sacks and wooden crates bound by hemp nets piled in the corner.

The Lei Long Fleet, this is the fleet where Lei Long belonged, named after him.

Originally departing from Hurricane Island to the east, heading north, intending to conveniently deliver a batch of grain and goods back to Banli Port of the Steel Kingdom.

But now, because they needed to guide him, they changed course.

"Blood Sea pirate group, are they strong?"

Watching Lei Long stride forward, Chen Feng asked.

In the past few days, he had already mastered many pronunciations, his speech still clumsy, but he could manage basic exchanges.
